Fire-free smores

Don't get me wrong. I'm all for kids handling sharp metal pokers near open flames, but sometimes I'm just not up to it. So for one of our treats (there were oh so many), we tried out this easy version of smores.

You need:

Chocolate. You can melt some chocolate chips if you add a little bit of oil to help give them a smoother consistency, or you can use the leftover brick of almond bark that you never dipped pretzels in to give to the neighbors at Christmas time.

Something pokey. We used bamboo skewers, but forks would be perfectly acceptable, although not nearly as glamorous.

Large marshmallows. We never seem to not have marshmallows. We've officially added them to our food storage rotation. They fall under the same category as wheat.

Graham Crackers. Smash them up really fine. Put them in a ziploc and roll over them with a glass. Or even a rolling pin would work. If you feel like you need to be all "fancy".

Then stick it, dip it, roll it, and....

Shove it in!

Super delicious. And easy to save the supplies for the very next night. Not that we did that.

This is the face of a girl who has just had her chocolate fix.

This is the face of a girl who doesn't realize she has been given a plastic waffle to chew on while everyone else is dipping sugar into more sugar and rolling it in sugar.

Ignorance is bliss.
